“If one were a Democrat today, trying to keep tabs on how your likely opponent is gearing up to challenge you, you might go directly to sites like FR to try to understand his or her strengths.
Frankly any liberal reading here, has to believe the GOP is quite determined to destroy itself before the election is even held.”
Fortunately, FR is the resistance, not the mainstream. In spite of all the gnashing of teeth, Romney DID WIN! There were people who identified themselves as Republicans, (I know, all RINOs), and cast a vote for Romney. No one made them, bribed them, or changed their votes.
There are a lot of us who are sick of seeing what Obama has done to this country, and will vote ABO, even if that is Romney.
Freepers can get on board, or watch from the sidelines, it’s their choice.
If you hate Romney really bad,
and you live in a state “not in question”, either red or blue,
you can vote third party without putting Obama in office.
I think part of what’s driving the anti-Romney sentiment (other than the obvious preference stated pretty clearly, by the owner of this fine site) is that many seem to have drawn a conclusion that Romney, is like McCain.
On that, this poster would differ. I heard Rush Limbaugh mention this also, recently.
The very important difference between John McCain and Mitt Romney, is that Romney really, genuinely wants and is in fact deeply committed to, WINNING THE ELECTION.
He’s not running to beat his primary challengers, as McCain was. He’s not just trying to win over media leftists, by beating other Republicans.
No. Romney is in this to be president. He’s been utterly devastating in effectiveness, as far back as 2008 when his minions pounced on and demonized Sarah Palin, and his entire world since then has been about winning the presidency this year.
Every move he’s set out to do, he has accomplished.
I’m no Mitten. I find the guy revolting, and carry a grudge over his flunkies’ treatment of the finest Republican candidate this century (Governor Palin).
But there’s really little question anymore, Romney is pretty talented at winning elections.
He’s going to be a formidable opponent against Obama, if he ends up our nominee.
And he’s no communist.
Now, it will be ABO.
I just hope he picks a really good, conservative running mate. I would like to have something to get excited about.
Isn't it funny that Obama chose the blunt nail Biden and it didn't matter? McCain (RINO) chose Palin, and it almost caused him to win. I think it scared him silly that he might actually win.
At least Romney really does want the job and is fighting for it. I think McCain just wanted to be the GOP candidate. He was fine with being runner up.
